• I broke my external hard drive and now it locked and disassembled?

  I just have a lot of questions here. After trying many things I found in a deeper hole.

  I use an external hard drive, it's a Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB external hard drive. It is formatted and partitioned, I did using the steps for me the Web of Seagate site, when I got it.

  I entered the hole, I'm right now because I had backup problems near the top of my photos of Lyve on my external drive. I think the reason why they would not return, it was because my drive was in offline mode in the "Status" section in Lyve, despite the fact that disk utility says the status of the disk is online. I researched and found out that this can happen if a.) the storage is full or b.) the wifi connection is bad or a connection is not available. When I opened my Seagate dashboard, I discovered that my drive was full, so I thought that was the reason. This made no sense to me because there was no way that I had somehow already packed 1 TB, I had saved only once and it is brand new. However, I deleted a ton of pictures I put in 'Lyve Import' and then allowed the trash. (I must have accidentally imported them several times, so the photos doubled several times or something because altogether they are 50 GB, 1 TB not...) That seemed to be the source because then my drive had 938 GB free!... But my drive was always in offline mode.

  So I refreshed, rebooted, unplugged and replugged, returned Wi - Fi works for Seagate Lyve and my computer. But my drive was still offline even though disk utility always says that it is online.

  Now, I'm still trying to find out why, it's that my drive has been appearing offline in Lyve when I used different Wi - Fi connections in different places and they all worked well, and I have lots of storage. One of the reasons is that the partition on my drive has still pictures of Lyve copied import, I had deleted, because there is almost no storage on this score somehow, I suspect. As you can see in the second photo, the score says he has only 16 MB of available space, and I somehow used GB 999. If it is the same as before, I don't know how to access this partition, and then delete them. It is a copy of all of these photos of Lyve Import? However...

  NOW, currently the main problem that prevents me from continuing to investigate on the previous question is: I had encrypted my external hard drive some time ago. After having annoyed having to enter a password long so many times because of the reopening and that to solve the problem 'offline', I've deciphered this hard drive clicking in the Finder by clicking Decrypt. I entered the password to do this, and have decrypted AFAIK because the password has been accepted. But now my drive says that it is locked and disassembled? What? It is shaded in the left sidebar of disk utility. It does not appear as a device plugged into the Finder. It's as if he is not yet here, but I can still access Lyve. From what I understand, my disc encryption would protect its ' content with a password. Decryption, it would mean that I wouldn't have to type a password to access? Seriously worried that I screwed to the top of something because I did not understand what the consequences would be here. In addition, why my player not appear when the score indicates the status of the disk is online?

  I have included pictures of both the disk and partition information, and what they look like now in disk utility. Previously, from what I remember, in the information section of my car he had about 948 GB available, was mounted and he said it was a logical Partition encrypted, if it is of no use. It does not display this information now because it is locked, correct? I did not delete anything?

  As you can tell, I didn't know what I was doing the same in the first place - and now, I'm stumped. Please bear with me on this because all of this formatting and partitioning, and editing and similar is confusing me, only knowledge I had performed since the steps provided in the forums or on Seagate and Lyve directions on their website. I really don't understand what that means anyway - I wasn't trying to screw around things just... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  

  

  

  ^ Note that this is what my Finder looks like now despite the fact that my external hard drive is connected. He always used to display the full drive Center 'FAVORITES' and 'TAGS' as a device that is currently connected, with the option to display its "table of contents or eject it.

  Update - I managed to solve this problem using this forum:

  How decrypt external hard drive, so it can be re-partitioned

• How to format a hard drive when you're locked volume popups?

  How to format a hard drive when you're locked volume popups?

  Looks like you are trying to format the disk that contains the system volume of in WinXP.  You can not.  It would be the computer equivalent of sawing off the branch of the tree, you sit and WinXP is "too smart" to enable this.

  After saving all the data you want to transfer to the new installation of the OS, simply boot from the Windows XP installation CD.  You will be offered the possibility to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the installation process. (You may need to rearrange the order of the boot devices in the PC BIOS to boot from the CD.)

• How can I remove bit locker option from my hard drive?

  I have a password on one of my local hard drives using bit locker. now, I want to remove this password. How can I remove tht?

  Hi HaBiB JHoN,

  1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
  2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  The best way to remove BitLocker on windows 7 32-bit is to follow the following steps.
  a. click on start
  b. click Control Panel
  c. whereas the Control Panel, find the Bitlocker Drive Encryption icon, click on it
  d. here you will see all the partitions on your hard disk and their encryption status, whether encrypted or not.
  e. that is encrypted, you will find an option to turn off bitlocker. Click on it and wait for the machine to decrypt.

  Method 2
  To prevent losing access to drives protected by BitLocker in case of failure of the TPM secure, forgotten passwords or loss of smart cards or USB keys, it is important that you have a way for administrators to access to BitLocker drives. BitLocker supports the following methods to retrieve access to protected drives:

  a. recovery key or recovery password. You can use a BitLocker recovery password or a recovery key. If a BitLocker key is not available, as in the case of a missing SmartCard or forgotten user password, a 48-digit recovery password can be used to unlock the protected drive. In place of a password, a recovery key which has been stored in a file on a removable media such as a USB flash drive, can also be used to unlock the protected drive.

  b. backup key in Active Directory Domain Services. Password recovering BitLocker can be stored in Active Directory Domain Services. This allows administrators, such as the personal assistant of office help users retrieve drives protected by BitLocker when they have forgotten or misplaced their recovery password.

  c. data recovery agent. A data recovery agent is the person designated as a system administrator, who can use his administrative credentials to unlock BitLocker-protected drives. BitLocker is not configured with the default data recovery agents, neither data recovery agents are enabled by default. They must be enabled and configured by using Group Policy.

• My Wd hard drive has been locked with Bit Locker and I don't have a password or recovery key. Please help me?

  MR PRESIDENT, I LOCKED UP MY HDD WD 320 GB WITH BIT LOCKER OF WINDOW 7. DUE TO SOME PROBLEMS, I CHANGED MY HARD DRIVE & FORMATTED OS WHERE I KEPT THE RECOVERY KEY. I COULDN'T REMEMBER MY PASSWORD AND RECOVERY KEY. I HAVE VALUABLE DATA in HDD. KINDLY HELP ME TO RECOVER DATA

  THANKING YOU.

  Sorry, the news is not good. Some time ago, you have chosen BitLocker because you want to protect your data against unauthorized access. If someone had told you that anyone can crack the encryption by asking a little help in this forum, would you have chosen BitLocker?

  BitLocker is as good as its reputation. Unless you followed best practices and created your own backdoor, your data is lost.

• How can I delete locked files to external hard drive

  I use an external hard drive to back up my laptop.  I did a number of full backups using PC Backup Pro.  I find that I am ending up with a number of files that have names like "2bfee8a4e34dc7b2bb247207".  All of these issues appear to be Windows/MS Office program files.  I do not need them taking place on my external hard drive and delete.  Some of the icons folder contain also see a lock on the top of the file and not others.

  When I try to delete these files, a window opens saying "you do not currently have permission to access this folder, click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.  When I ' click to continue ', I don't then get a window caying "you refused permission to access this folder.  To have access... Use the Security tab.

  I have to after the opening of the Security tab, then click Advanced, click the owner tab.  I'll see an owner like "Account Unknown(S-1-5-21-3029930470-4275679664-342561093-1007)" listed.  I tried to change the owner name 'administrators (Ellen-PC\Administrators)' or Ellen (Ellen-PC\Ellen), which are the names appear in the owner to change to: box.  Some of the files won't let me make the change.  On the other, if she will allow me to make the change of ownership, I still cannot remove the files/folders.

  This is getting very frustrating, because I I would like to delete these folders without having to reformat the external hard drive.  I want to make room for newer backups.

  Hello
